Spinnaker course

Back to Sailing School
If you want to acquire the profound knowledge of sailing with spinnaker as recreational sailor or learn how to use spinnaker in regattas, this course is just made for you.

The accommodation is organised in our base in Jezera on Murter Island and the meals will be served in a restaurant.

The theoretical classes will take place in the morning, followed by sailing out to the Sea.

There is so much to do: raising the spinnaker sheltered from or exposed to the wind, making circles with spinnaker on light wind or strong one, taking down the spinnaker behind the front sail or in front of it and so on.

Furthermore you will learn what to do if the spinnaker gets tangled and how to solve this "as-bonbon-wrapped-problem", how to raise and take down the spinnaker at buoy turn, how and when to do a jibe set?

After a week of training using spinnaker will no longer present a taboo. It will become a pleasure.
